Salsa Verde Queso
Queso is one of the best appetizers to have in your back pocket, and this Salsa Verde Queso has fantastic flavor. Have a group of high schoolers to feed? Queso. College students needing a study break? Queso. Football party or friends coming over to sit on the back porch? Queso.
I tend to like my Queso to be extra spicy, so I add LOTS of jalapenos. If you want it mild so that even a 3 year old will love it, just add pickled jalapenos or just stick with the diced green chilies that are not spicy in any way (just give great flavor). Play around with it and make this Salsa Verde Queso perfect for your tastes.
And don't forget that I have my very popular Queso Blanco recipe as well. Queso Blanco is my original queso recipe that my family and friends just can't get enough of.
Are you needing recipes for a Cinco de Mayo feast? I have my popular Cinco de Mayo Round-Up post with more than 20 options. And don't wait for Cinco de Mayo, have an extra special taco night and include Queso as the appetizer.

Notes
I like to add extra jalapenos to my Queso for an extra spicy flavor. When I am making it for my kids, I skip the jalapenos and just add extra diced green chilies that are mild with ZERO spice factor and have amazing flavor. You can make this dip perfect for any tastebuds.
